You could use some sort of wi-fi range extender although I don't know much about them. https://www.repeaterstore.com/pages/wifi-booster-repeater-extender-differences If your power at the detached office is connected to the house you could use the electric lines to move the internet out to the...

Go for the I7 processor; everything else can be upgraded at a later date without trouble. Swapping cpu's is the most difficult upgrade in my experience. Love the large 4k idea. I am currently using a variety of monitors (4) and I often miss things I should see. I just ordered this one from...

I tried it again on 12/01/2015 and it went perfectly. Everything works as it did with windows 7 although I am still trying to figure out where they hid all the functions. :) I think it is "safe" to upgrade at this point.

I suck at long term price prediction. I find it much easier to watch the orderflow and go for the smaller 6 - 10 tick trades than trying to guess what will happen a day from now.

That's my approach. I only trade the 6E and with each passing day it becomes more predictable to me.

Check out the speedy trading server link birdman posted. I just trade the 6E contract and have a Chicago based server (Speedy also has them in the NYC area). Since I am a discretionary trader I wouldn't have one at all if my internet was "rock solid" and low latency but it isn't. It is also nice...

I have my Sprint 4G through a company called "WirelessNwifi" that offers 60gb per month for 90 dollars. It is my only internet connection (other than a 2gb ATT plan I use for backup) and I generally use about 30gb per month which includes 2 hours a night of netflix on low resolution, numerous...

Video streaming does eat up the data but market data is hardly anything. My internet is 4G from sprint at my home (too far from town to get cable). I asked this question in another forum and the best answer I could get is market data uses around 200mb per day (per contract) if you stream it...

"Swinging for the fences" is a bad idea. I suggest you concentrate on trading well and reasonable. Go for the steady consistent trades; don't try to "get rich quick".

Amazing what offering everyone "free shit" will do. Free college, free health care and a "living wage" no matter what value you add to our economy

Pretty obvious what they are doing; increasing revenue. They will probably charge the same exchange fees for this contract as they do for the current contract. They will be effectively doubling their revenue.

I am trying to get a handle on how many other retail traders use the tape/Dom just out of curiosity. Yes, the DOM/Tape is still my primary trading tool. I watch the stacking and pulling of orders on the DOM and it helps me get a good picture of liquidity. I do not consider many levels past the...

As I do not use Yahoo/Google finance I couldn't be sure. Wouldn't make much sense for us suckers that pay for tick data if it were available for free.

Obviously the DOM/Tape is not as useful the further out your timeframe is so I would like responses from intraday traders only. Useful? Useless? What's your take?

I downloaded "Pitbull" today and read it. It was entertaining however not relevant to the current electronic markets. It was similar to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator in that it was entertaining. It will not help anyone trade better in my opinion. Good way to spend a Sunday but not useful.

You mean the one that "thinks" he knows he is right?:eek: Show me one trader that never had a loss.

:rolleyes: You did mean to say "If the maximum amount you are willing to lose is 100%, you are just gambling." right? I don't gamble, I trade. I am NEVER 'willing" to lose 100%. I never enter a trade in which there is a chance of losing everything.

I guess you wouldn't need level two but does Yahoo offer tick data or is it just time based prices and volume?

Another question is will Yahoo finance even give you level 2 tick data?

I am ALWAYS OUT when major news is released (trading the 6E). I love watching the news releases but it is just gambling to have a position on. Even if you bracket the price there is huge risk.
